The rolling hills of Chianti are among the most iconic landscapes in Italy, and are best admired from above. Take to the skies on a hot-air balloon flight and marvel at Tuscany’s patchwork of vineyards, olive groves, and oak woods from a bird’s-eye perch. Siena hot air balloon rides take off in the early morning to catch the sunrise and spend about an hour floating over the picturesque countryside—plenty of time to snap photos and marvel at the views—before ending with a glass of sparkling wine or al fresco breakfast back on solid ground.
